PREFACE. 

This  little  guide  book  to  Philadelphia  was  prepared  by  the 
editor  at  the  request  of  the  ( 'onvcntion  (  'ommittec  of  tin-  Rotary 
I 'lull.  It  is  not  an  exhaustive  treatise  on  I'hihi'lrlphia,  but  is 
intended  .simply  as  a  brief  guide  for  visitors.  To  make  a  guide 
book  of  a  city  attractive  reading  is  almost  impossible,  ami  to 
know  what  to  include  in  a  book  oi  limited  si/.e  is  difficult.  No 
two  visitors  have  exactly  the  same  tastes  or  interests.  It  is 
also  difficult  to  classity  properly  the  various  points  of  interest: 
but  it  is  believed  that  the  classifications  herein  employed  will 
be  found  as  convenient  as  any.  If  some  attractions  have 
been  given  more  or  less  space  than  they  merit,  or  if  anything 
has  been  omitted,  the  editor  begs  his  readers  to  be  indulgent. 

The  real  object  of  this  preface  is  to  create  an  opportunity 
to  thank  those  who  assisted  the  editor  in  gathering  and  com- 
piling this  material.  Among  them  he  desires  to  acknowledge 
especially  the  courtesy  and  assistance  of  <  !eo.  \Y.  Janvier;  the 
International  1'rinting  t'o,;  Jessie  \Y.  ('liftoii;  Charles  Kair- 
child;  l;.Imer  Schlichter;  Frank  II.  Taylor;  \Ym.  Rau.  for  many 
—  oi  the  photographs  herein  reproduced:  Jessie  ('.  Kvans,  for  in- 
formation on  the  new  t'ity  (,'harter.  and  \-'.\-;i  Koeiiig  Xitxsche.  for

of  many  religious  cults  and  denominations.  AIIMH^  them  were

Philadelphia  with  more  than  -even  thousand  emigrants.  While

seven  hundred  houses  in  Philadelphia,  which  became,  and  was  for

building  industries  stretch  along  the  Delaware-  for  many  miles 
beyond  (be  city's  political  boundaries,  a  movement  was  .started 
a  lew  years  ago  to  include  all  tbis  territory  within  the  city  lim- 
its, which  would  give  Philadelphia  a  population  of  almo-i 
3,000.000. 

The  city  lies  on  the  west  bank  of  the  Delaware  River, 
which  separates  it  from  Camden,  New  Jersey,  a  city  of  about 
150. ODD.  which  hears  the  same  physical  relation  to  Philadelphia 
as  I'.rooklvn  does  to  Manhattan.  A  monumental  bridge,  to 
cost  more  than  $-40. ()<)(>. 000,  has  been  autbori/ed  by  the  leni-la- 
tures  of  Pennsylvania  and  New  Jersey,  and  it  is  hoped  that 
within  a  few  years  the  two  cities  will  be  connected.  The  Scliuyl- 
kill  River,  a  tributary  of  the  Delaware,  flows  through  Fairmount 
Park  and  the  center  of  the  city. 

Philadelphia  is  third  in  population  and  second  in  manufac- 
tures in  the  I'nitcd  States,  and  contains  more  dwellings  than  any 
city  in  the  world  of  its  si/.e  and  population.  It  has  more  than 
4J5.0<;i)  buildings,  of  which  at  least  300,000  are  dwellings.  There 
are  '-00  churches.  1-400  societies  devoted  to  charity  and  social 
betterment,  23  public  libraries,  nearly  100  public  parks  and  chil- 
dren's playgrounds,  covering  almost  seven  thousand  acres,  22 
public  bath-houses.  15(10  miles  of  paved  streets.  500  of  well-built 
suburban  roads,  and  (>53  miles  ot  street  railways. 

The  suburban  territory,  especially  along  the  Mam  Line 
and  the  Chestnut  I  I  ill  P.ranch  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad,  is 
celebrated  for  its  beautiful  country  homes  and  grounds,  and 
estates  ot  great  extent:  and  the  saim-  is  true  ot  the  <  Md 
York  Road  district  on  the  north.  Kairmount  Park,  with  the 
\\issahickon  I  reek,  is  noted  as  one  of  the  largest  and  most 
picturesque  natural  city  parks  in  this  country.  In  the  built-up 
sections  are  smaller  parks,  such  as  Independence  Square,  at 
Sixth  and  C'hestnut  Streets;  Washington  Square,  at  Sixth  and 
Walnut:  Franklin  Square,  at  Sixth  and  Vine;  Logan  Square,  at 
Nineteenth  and  Race:  and  Rittenhouse  Square,  at  Nineteenth 
and  Walnut  Streets.  These  "squares"  were  the  first  public 
parks  in  America  to  be  dedicated  to  the  people.  The  new 
Delaware  River  bridge,  which  will  connect  the  city  with  (  am- 
den  and  the  New  Jersey  coast  resorts,  will  probably  utilize  one 
ot  these  squares  as  an  approach. 

City  Government. —  Philadelphia  was  governed  under  the 
provisions  of  an  Act  of  William  I'enn.  the  founder,  from  1<>S3 
to  1(>1)1.  when  it  was  granted  a  charter  by  the  Fnglish  king.  A 
new  charter  and  seal  were  granted  in  1701.  and  the  city  was 
divided  into  wards  four  years  later.  In  17s1*'  a  new  seal  was

THE  DELAWARE  RIVER. 

Tin-  name  I  >elawarc  is  generally  supposed  to  be  derived 
from  a  visit  to  tin-  Hay  by  Lord  dr  la  \\air.  on  hi-,  way  to 
Virginia  in  !(>](>;  this  i-  not  authentic.  Henry  Hudson  eiit<  red 
the  Hay  in  1MI1';  1 1  cndricksoii  in  lolo;  M,-y  in  !<>_'.v  In  \<>2<<. 
(iiistavns  .\dol|iluis,  of  Sweden,  issued  letters  ]iateiit  for  a 
settlement;  in  l'o(>  <Jueen  Christina  founded  a  colony,  now 
Wilmington.  Tlii-  control  of  the  river  was  successively  in  the 
hands  of  the  Swedes,  hutch  and  Knglish.  until  settled  by  \\il- 
liani  Penn  at  Philadelphia  in  IdSJ. 

\o  river  in  America  is  so  full  of  historical  interest  as  the

Passenger  steamers  from  Philadelphia  to  Trenton  pass 
through  a  more  picturesque  portion  of  the  IVlaware  River, 
which  has  many  charming  views  in  its  upper  reaches.  Alter 
leaving  Cramps'  Shipyard  and  the  Reading  Railroad  Coal  Piers 
and  going  through  the  drawbridge,  the  steamers  pass  on  the 
Pennsylvania  side  I'.ridesburu  and  Tacony,  the  latter  the  site

THE  WISSAHICKON  AND  PARK  DRIVES. 

Wissahickon  Creek  must  be  viewed  from  a  carriage  or  on 
foot  (motor  cars  are  not  permitted  on  the  upper  drive  beyond 
"Lincoln  I>rivc"i,  ami  a  day  should  he  devoted  to  it.  Tin 
lower  portion  may  be  reached  by  the  Ridge  Avenue  car*  or  the 
Noiristown  Kranch  of  the  Reading  Railroad  to  \\is-ahn  koii 
Station.  In  a  carriage,  take  the  Fast  River  drive  from  <  .rccn 
Street  entrance,  where  is  the  Washington  Monument,  designed 
by  Rudolph  Siemermg,  of  I'.erlin.  ami  dedicated  in  1S°7  by  the 
Pennsylvania  Society  of  (  incinnati.  Its  cost  was  about  $-^n,- 
0(10.  The  monument  is  forty-four  feet  high  and  is  considered 
one  of  the  most  beautiful  equestrian  statues  in  America.  A 
little  further  along  is  the  famous  Lincoln  Monument. 

Proceed  to  the  Wis-ahickon  I  >rive  under  the  Reading  Rail- 
road bridge,  the  graceful  arches  of  which  form  a  charming  gate- 
way to  the  gorge.  The  drive  follows  the  stream  to  beyond 
('he.-tnnt  Mill,  where  it  enters  I'.arren  Mill  Pike.  For  miles  it 
winds  through  a  deep  gorge  and  along  precipices  to 
ant  valley.  <  >n  the  bridle  path  on  the  cast  side 
Rinker's  Rock,  on  which  is  a  statue  of  \\illiam  Peim;  on  the 
driveway  is  a  rock  about  twenty  feet  high,  which,  at  a  distance 
of  1UO  yards  to  the  north,  looks  like  a  stooping  Indian.  Walnut 
Lane  P.ridge.  spanning  the  creek,  is  one  of  the  largest  con- 
crete arches  in  the  world.  There  are  many  winding,  old-fashioned 
lanes  leading  down  into  the  gorge  from  both  sides  and  cro--- 
mg  the  \\  issahickon  over  picturesque  bridges.  (  )ne  of  the 
most  charming  ot  these  is  Kitchen's  Lane,  on  the  north  side  oi 
which  is  the  Monastery;  from  here  another  spur  of  the  Park 
runs  along  Melma's  (lien  to  Carpenter's  \\oods,  part  ot  which 
has  recently  been  acquired  by  the  Park.  There  are  many  tasci- 
nating  stories  and  legends  told  about  every  part  of  the  Wi--  i- 
hickon.  among  the  most  interesting  of  which  is  that  of  the 
weird  Kelpius  and  his  followers  of  dermaii  pietists,  who  her1 
lived  in  a  cave  for  many  years,  practicing  occult  arts  and  weird 
rites.  At  the  end  of  one  ot  the  lanes  are  the  l.ive/ey  Hou-e 
and  Mill,  a  Revolutionary  estate  of  note.  Valley  <  ireen  Hotel 
i-  a  half-mile  above  Valley  *  ireen  and  Oesheim  ("reck.  Where 
the  creek  empties  into  the  Wissahickon  is  a  beautiful  little 
waterfall  and  the  "I>evil's  Pool."  Along  ("resheim  ('reck  the 
Park  extend-  for  more  than  a  mile  to  (iermantown  Avenue. 
\\orld  traveler-  have  tivquently  pronounced  the  Wissahickon 
one  ot  the  most  beautiful  and  romantic  streams  they  have  ever 
seen,  but  owmg  to  the  lack  of  publicitv  it  is  less  known  than 
many  interior  attractions  in  other  cities.  Along  its 
eight  miles  there  is  not  a  spot  that  has  not  a  charm  of  its 
Fverywhere  one  meet-  with  delightfullv  cool  springs. 
watertalN  and  picturesque  ruins  (,f  ,,1,1  mills  and  dams.

tains  a  great  variety  of  trees  and  shrubbery,  f'.eing  located 
on  high  rolling  ground,  it  forms  one  of  tin  most  charming  oi 
the  smaller  parks  in  the  eity.  The  lake  at  <nie  corner  of  the 
park,  the  beautiful  vistas,  the  well  laid  out  walks  and  roads,  tin- 
foot  paths  through  the  woods,  and  the  well  planned  setting  out 
of  trees  and  shrubs  make  it  one  of  the  most  pleasing  hits  (.f  land 
scape  gardening  in  Philadelphia. 

Penn  Treaty  Park  is  a  small  plot  on  the  hclaware  River 
at  the  foot  of  old  Shackamaxon  Street.  An  immense  elm  tree, 
which  was  blown  down  in  1SIO.  formerly  stood  on  the  spot. 
There  is  a  tradition  that  William  I'cnn  made  a  treaty  with  tin- 


Benedict  Arnold  Mansion,   Fairmount  Park. 


Indians  in  1'iSJ  under  the  shade  of  this  tree.  Scions  iroin  the 
tree  have  been  planted  at  the  I  'niversit y  of  Pennsylvania,  llav- 
eriord.  and  Stenton  House  in  (lermantown. 

As  stated  beiore.  there  are  many  miles  of  P.oulevards  al- 
ready in  existence  connecting  the  various  parks  with  each  other 
and  giving  a  dignitied  approach  trom  the  city.  Among  these 
are : 

The  Parkway,  which  is  now  the  main  approach  from  City

Although     Philadelphia    has    ruthlessly    destroyed    many    oi 
In  r   once    lamoiis    landmarks,   anyone    taking    the   trouble    to    walk 
around    the    old    portion    oi    the    city    \\ill    Imd    much    that    is    un 
changed    liom   the  da\  s  \\heii    this   was  the    Imest.    residential    st-r 
lion    oi   the    lirst    city    oi   the   country.      Philadelphia    retains    much 
more    oi    the    old.    in    buildings,    than    does    any    oilier    American 
city.       There   are    many    <  olonial   houses,    with    elaborate    cornices, 
little    curving    marble    steps,    iron-railed    in    pairs    leading    up    to 
pilastered    doorways,    with    here    and    there    an    old-time    knocker. 

Picturesque  features  of  this  section  of  the  city  are  the  lire 
insurance  emblems  still  in  place  on  the  fronts  of  the  old  houses, 
and  the  wrought-iron  foot  scrapers,  built  into  the  sidewalk  at 
the  foot  of  the  house  steps.  Kvery where  one  may  come  upon 
buildings  designed  on  classic  lines.  In  the  very  heart  of  the 
old  city  are  garden  walls  ol  stone  and  brick  with  tascinatmg 
little  gateways.  Leading  oft"  of  the  main  streets  are  old  alleys 
where  one  tmds  little  old-time  houses  with  dormer  windows  and 
protective  eaves. 

Many  ol  the  city's  old  houses  are  rich  in  historic  interest. 
At  41,i  South  Tenth  Street  Henry  (icorge  was  born.  No.  _'_'4 
Pine  Street  was  the  home  ol  Robert  Illackwell.  <  Mie  of  the 
finest  homes  of  all  was  the  old  Powel  House  at  J44  South 
Third  Street,  where  Washington  was  oiten  a  guest.  The  Mor- 
ris house,  at  -'-'5  South  T.i^hth  Street,  built  in  17S'>,  is  perhaps 
the  best  remaining  example  of  the  old-time  town  dwelling 
house  of  wealth  and  beauty.  What  was  to  be  the  grandest  oi 
all  Philadelphia  mansions  was  started  by  Robert  Morris,  who 
bought  the  entire  block  between  ("hestnut  and  \\alnnt  Street- 
ami  Seventh  and  T.ighth  Streets.  Some  ol  the  underground 
structure  of  this  house  is  still  existent.  At  JoO  South  Xintli  Street 
lived  for  a  time  Joseph  I'.onaparte,  formerly  King  of  Spam.  A 
great  room  is  still  papered  with  the  scenic  paper  which  \\a~- 
on  the  walls  when  he  lived  here.  'The  old  \\istar  house  still 
stands  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Fourth  and  I.ocu<t  Streets. 

(  >n  Second  Street,  near  ( 'allowhill.  is  the  old  Black  Horse 
Inn.  which  one  enters  through  an  archway.  Within  is  still  the 
ancient  inn  yard,  a  long,  roii'-ih-paved  parallelogram,  enclo-c'l 
by  simply  balustrated  balconies,  a  survival  ol  the  old  inn-yards 
of  F.nyland. 

In  idd  Philadelphia  there  were  market  houses  on  Market 
Street.  (  iirard  \venue,  I'ainbridgc  Street.  I.ehigh  Avenue.  Spring 
(  iarden  and  other  streets.  <>nlv  those  on  Second  Street  are 
still  standing.  The  most  interesting  of  the-e.  extcml'iiL:  from 
Pine  Street  to  South  Street,  were  started  in  1745.  The  bell 
tower  and  clock  were  added  in  1S1(J. 

Carpenters'  Hall  is  in  a  court  that  opens  t>. 
Street,  between  'Third  and  Fourth.  'The  (  arpentet 
was  founded  in  17_'4.  and  the  building  was  begun  i:
